We visited on a glorious sunny day on 24th May 2012. Suitable for elderly, wheelchairs and young alike, this attraction has real personality. The visit will take about an hour, especially if you're interested in training miniature trees or the detail of the models. You'll enjoy this as much for the gardens as for the modelling and humour in the... More

Saw this place online and thought we would go and have a look. Was better than expected and the children had fun taking pictures. The miniature village was well kept and the detail was fantastic. Cost of admission was £12 for a family of four. The surrounding village has plenty of little shops to look around too. More

We visited late afternoon on a cold damp day after the coach trips had left Godshill so we had the mini village nearly to ourselves. As seniors it cost £3.50 each and we believe that the ticket is valid for another vist in the same week.(bargain). We came when our children were little, loved it then and were not dissapointed...

Well worth the entry fee! The attention to scale in both objects and use of plants is amazing. Your visit will lift your spirits through both nostalgia and beauty. Every corner has something fresh to reveal. Great for all ages. More

We visited on a showery afternoon my 7 year old enjoyed the activity sheet they gave us and searching for the clues, but my 9 year old was less interested. Quite a pricey attraction that took less than an hour to look around. More
